Democratic Bloc of Vietnam

The Democratic Bloc was an opposition front in South Vietnam which was founded in 1961 by the unsuccessful presidential and vice-presidential tickets of Nguyen Dinh Quat and Ho Nhat Tan and Nguyen Thanh Phuong and Nguyen The Truyen, respectively. However, Tan left the group due to Quat and Phong's refusal to adopt anti-communism as a policy, and, by 1963, the CIA could not find any evidence that the bloc had adherents beyond its leadership.
